If Gilmore, Kirkpatrick and Barron were gone in round one, then I'd expect the Lions to look at Glenn, Konz, Martin or the top rated DE left.

I like the choices in round two, but think all three will be gone by that time. Brandon Washington is a good option here, because he can play guard or center (he won't last until round five, and neither will Zebrie Sanders).

Round three will depend on who was taken in the first two rounds. Ben Jones would be a good pick, but only if Philip Blake is gone already. Brandon Brooks is solid as well. I'm not at all interested in Zach Brown, and think he'll be gone sometime in round two anyways.

Round four, I hate both options you listed. I don't think Polk is going to be any good in the NFL, at all. He just doesn't seem like an NFL caliber back. Isiah Pead or Robert Turbin would be better. And David Molk is more sizzle than steak to me. Strong guy, but that doesn't make him a good football player. He's Raiola part 2, to an even lesser extent. I'd be looking at strictly BPA from here on out. Neither guy you show would be that to me.

Janzen Jackson is the guy I'd like to see the Lions target in round four, if he's on the board and if they haven't taken a safety at that point. I liked what I saw of him at the Combines. Justin Bethel is another player I liked, and he could be there. Big corner, could be moved to safety. Small school sleeper.

I dont see Barron, Kirkpatrick, or Gilmore being there at 23, so Id be happy with Curry.

Afraid I agree about the top secondary talent being gone. But, feel that there is sufficient talent at CB and S we could take from the 2nd to 5th, to develop. Like all your picks in the 2nd round.

Re: Wishing and wanting 2012

Every year I create a list of players I like for the Lions prior to the draft. The emphasis for me is on players selected after the 1st round, the not so obvious picks. I am listing areas of need only.
